BPA is largely a farse when it comes to draft time.

GMs draft on need and preference more than anything.   There is no universal BPA board.  Every team's BPA is dictated by need and preference

meh. BPA is partially based on need, you wouldn't draft a QB because he is the BPA, but if you lock yourself into just an OT or just a DE you end up reaching.

You can only really grade a draft class 3-5 years after the fact so the only GMan draft worth evaluating right now is the 2013 class where he hit on 3 of 5 picks, and Kug was just derailed by injuries before we could see if he was any good.

Some GMs value certain positions more than others.  Some believe value certain traits vs others in players.  Those are preferences.   

Claiming BPA is largely coach speak to a degree.

But GMs draft on need and preference heavily because those shape what BPA is to him specifically.  

So if you value interior line play more than exterior....your BPA is different than another GM.  Maybe you prefer quick and shifty WR play instead of big bodied guys.  BPA is different for those two teams. 

But a GM claims he got the BPA.  Doesn't mean it really was....he got the guy he prefers based on his preference/need.

now I do believe most overall rate players into comparable tiers... but for example Funchess meet Dave's preference/need and thus he claimed he was BPA and had to have him. I doubt a lot of other GMs agreed

I can agree with that. Obviously not every GM would agree that Funchess was the BPA or else they would have taken him. At the same time I would want my GM to go into a draft thinking DE 1st round, OT 2nd round, no other way about it. But it definitely does come down to what style the team plays and what characteristics are valued.

The Patriots shipped a 4th round pick to the Chicago Bears for tight end Martellus Bennett (and a 6th round pick)

The Panthers shipped a 4th round pick to the Browns for Andy Lee, and no the Panthers did not get a 6th round pick in addition to Andy Lee.

Who needs a TE like Bennett next to Olsen for Cam when you can give Cam a punter. Am I right?

It is clear who the better GM is between the 2 organizations.

Now if both of your QBs are like Cam, then I could see the advantage. But come on now. Defenses already feel like they have an advantage going 11 on 10. 2 QBs and that is 11 on 9 for the D. Not sure that is going to scare a lot of Defenses.

 

Also, unless both your QBs are on rookie deals. That formation could be expensive. Not to mention the fact that most coaches are too risk averse to attempt that formation.

 

That said. As a fan. That formation kinda excites me. So to sum up. Stupid idea with exciting potential.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
